STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) is a set of special opportunities offered to students through HEB ISD's Schools of Choice program. In our school district, STEM is built on problem- and project-based learning experiences.

Students at Central Junior High can participate in the Engineering & Robotics program and students at Euless JH and Hurst JH can participate in the Cybersecurity/Network Technology program. Both STEM programs have related courses offered for high school students at the Buinger CTE Academy. (Classes at BCTEA are available to students from both L.D. Bell and Trinity High Schools.)

Texas Health Resources, one of the largest health systems in the United States, provides guest speakers on medical and health topics, field trips to medical facilities, and clinical rotation opportunities for health science students.

Our STEM programs also receive support through connections with NTE Mobility Partners, Lockheed Martin, the U.S. Navy, Barnes & Noble, and more.

STEM for All Students

STEM skills will empower today's students to excel tomorrow, so we don't confine STEM learning to these specific programs. STEM concepts and activities are incorporated throughout classes at all grade levels in all HEB ISD schools.

Every HEB ISD school is equipped with a Makerspace. These dedicated workspaces are supplied with consumable materials that students can use to build their own inventions and explore new concepts with a hands-on approach.
